Abstract
BACKGROUND In older patients, medication exposure [i.e. polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), medications with anticholinergic and/or sedative properties] is a modifiable risk factor associated with cognitive iatrogenic risk and dementia. AIM To assess the potential clinical impact of the implementation of an individualised clinical pharmacy programme at the initiation of the Memory care pathway in older patients with a cognitive complaint. METHOD This prospective observational study included older patients with high-risk of adverse drug event (HR) admitted in a French geriatric university hospital to explore the cognitive complaint or the cognitive disorder between January and November 2021. Drug-related problems (DRPs) were identified during a medication review performed in HR patients, and pharmaceutical interventions (PIs) notified in the patient's hospitalisation report were collected. The clinical impact of PIs was assessed by an expert panel (geriatricians and clinical pharmacists) using the Clinical, Economic, and Organisational (CLEO) tool. RESULTS Overall, 326 patients were eligible and 207 (63.5%) were considered as HR patients. Among HR patients, 88.9% (n = 184) were treated using at least 5 medications (polypharmacy), and 36.7% (n = 76) received at least one PIM with cognitive iatrogenic risk. During the medication review, 490 PIs were provided and their clinical impact was rated as minor for 57.3% (n = 281), moderate for 26.7% (n = 131), and major for 2.5% (n = 12). CONCLUSION The integration of clinical pharmacist secured the Memory care pathway of older patients with a cognitive complaint by identifying an important number of DRPs and PIMs with potential cognitive iatrogenic risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to staffing constraints, several hospitals have defined targeting strategies for pharmacist-led medication order review, leaving non-targeted patients exposed to potential harmful drug-related problems (DRPs). Using targeting criteria to stratify medication order review level (level 1 (L1): orders, basic patient characteristics; level 2 (L2) or comprehensive medication order review: orders, patient characteristics, medical records, laboratory results) could make it possible to save time and increase the overall number of medication order reviews. This study aims to define targeting criteria to stratify medication order review level and estimate the time saved for the performance of additional medication order reviews. METHOD This retrospective single-centre study included all medication order reviews performed in 2020; DRPs were collected to assess the medication order review level required to detect them. Logistic regressions were performed to define patient characteristics associated with L2. These targeting criteria were applied to the cohort to estimate the time saved and the number of additional medication order reviews which could have been performed using this approach. RESULTS 2478 DRPs were reported; 54.2% (1343/2748) could have been detected using an L1 medication order review (representing 48.2% of the patients (829/1721)). L2 medication order reviews were significantly associated with age ≥65 years, male, and renal clearance <60 mL/min (OR≥75yo=1.79; OR65-74yo=1.74; ORfemale=0.74; OR30-59mL/min=1.67; OR<30mL/min=2.62; p<0.05). Sex being a confounding factor, only age and renal clearance were used as targeting criteria. The time saved was estimated at 274 hours per year, leading to an additional 1720 medication order reviews (54 hospital beds). CONCLUSION The proposed approach would maintain a satisfying level of safety and quality for patients, by performing an L2 medication order review for targeted patients based on age and renal clearance, while improving medication order review coverage with an L1 medication order review for non-targeted patients, using the available workforce.

Abstract
During the coronavirus pandemic, breathing filters have been essential in the medical care of infected patients. The worldwide demand caused a disruption in the supply, which led to a multiplication of the references used. The lack of formation available on the subject was an impediment for pharmacists (buyer, medical devices, intensive car unit) and it appears to be necessary to redact a formation about those filters, from the experience acquired during the sanitary crisis. Multiple breathing filters references exist which may be classify according to their filtration mechanism (mechanical filtration or electrostatic filtration) and by the eventual presence of a humidifying action (Heat and Moisture Exchangers; hydrophobic, hygroscopic, or mixed). In anaesthesia, the use of pure mechanical filter is preferred; in resuscitation unit, heat and moisture exchangers filter or simple filter plus heated humidifier are used. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the filters duration of use has been lengthened to limit the disruption risk.
